Charles Darwin University is resolute in working to limit its negative impact on the environment.

Below are examples of some of the measures the University has put in place and continues to work on, to manage energy use across all campuses and to lessen the University's contribution to global warming.

Airconditioning on the Casuarina campus places the largest demand on energy at CDU. Since 1995, though, the University has been working to restrict the increasing use of electricity and the resulting carbon emissions.

This work has resulted in the development and construction of a thermal energy storage air-conditioning system.

The system, which is managed by the Building Management System (BMS), allows automatic, local and remote control of both Darwin area campuses.

The campus is cooled through four centrifugal-type chillers supplying chilled water which is stored in a tank with a total capacity of 8.3 mega litres.

The chilled water is reticulated throughout the campus to multi-zoned, air-handling units (AHUs) located in each building to air-condition a total of 44 buildings.

BMS controllers control and monitor operations.

The chilled water system uses off-peak power which means significant cost savings to the University ($700,000 a year) but, more importantly, the system has significantly reduced the peak time loadings on the Darwin power generating grid.

An example of these techniques is the new higher education building in Alice Springs which has been designed especially to make maximum use of shade in summer and available warmth from the sun in winter.

This building also has automatically opening windows to take advantage of ventilation through cross winds.

This building also uses a stand-alone, chilled water system for air-conditioning, low-energy-use lights and has fully insulated walls and ceilings.

Charles Darwin University has a number of lecture theatres, seminar rooms, gardens and other venues available for hire for functions and events. To enquire, please submit a Venue Hire Request Form (docx 1.2MB).

Facilities Management (FM) has a range of motor vehicles for hire for faculties and schools on a user-pays basis:

If the journey requires the user to travel off road and/or engage 4WD, completion of a certified 4WD course is required before the 4WD vehicle can be hired. It is the hirer’s responsibility to understand the conditions where they will be travelling.

The Grounds Maintenance branch of Facilities Management (FM) is charged with the performance of the many and varied duties associated with the development and maintenance of a safe, functional and aesthetically pleasing outdoor environment at Charles Darwin University.

Areas of responsibility for the six grounds staff members cover the full spectrum of horticultural activity.

Staff and Students using car parks are therefore to comply with any signage or pavement markings that appear beside or on a marked bay indicating that a particular bay or series of bays is subject to special restrictions, for example, disabled, loading zone, university-owned fleet vehicles only.

Fines are subject to enforcement in the same way as if the offence occurred on a public street.

Note: All entrances to the university are signposted to advise Special Parking Regulations Apply. Car park areas are also signposted, clearly indicating the type of parking permitted in that area.

The Charles Darwin University (Site and Traffic) By-laws are enforced 24 hours a day as indicated via yellow lines or parking bays with parking signage.

Parking permits are available for a semester or full year. They can be purchased through the online permit payment form, or from the Cashiers in the Information Centre (Orange 1, Casuarina campus) or Palmerston campus Cashiers.

Parking permits cost $55.00 per semester or $100.00 per calendar year. Numbers are limited therefore it is advisable to purchase early.

Permits DO NOT guarantee a parking bay at the building you desire to park close to.

Please ensure that the permit is not obscured. Permits are required to be displayed between 8:00am and 5:00pm Monday to Friday.

Pay and Display Voucher parking is available at certain Casuarina campus car parks. Please refer to the Casuarina campus map (PDF 820KB)for exact locations. The vouchers are purchased from machines located in the car parks. The cost of voucher parking is:

50c per hour

Unauthorised parking in Authorised Only bays, Disabled Parking bays, designated specific purpose bays and in areas not intended for the parking of vehicles will incur a penalty under the Charles Darwin University (Site and Traffic) By-laws.

Bike racks are situated around the university campus. With the necessity to comply with Occupational Health and Safety regulations and the Charles Darwin University (Site and Traffic) By-laws, any bicycle found in an area other than a designated bike rack could result in the bicycle being 'clamped' by Security. The owner would then need to contact Security to negotiate the release of the bicycle.

It is an offence under section 9(1) of the Northern Territory (Site and Traffic) By-laws to:

(a) Contravene or fail to comply with a prohibition or requirement indicated by a control device. Fine $35 (A control device means a sign, signal, mark, notice, structure or device erected, installed, placed or displayed on site)

(b.i) Park a vehicle in any area in which parking bays are marked or otherwise indicated otherwise than wholly within a bay. Fine $35

If a fine is not paid, it can escalate to the Fines Recovery Unit. The Fines Recovery Unit manages all aspects of fine recovery. Enforcement orders range from licence and registration suspension through to civil enforcement and community work orders.

Charles Darwin University adopts the UNI-SAFE program, which aims to alert students, staff and visitors of personal safety issues and as part of the program, aims to maximize those issues within the Charles Darwin University community.

Alice Springs campus

For security escort service between 0800 and 2200 and other security matters, please call 042 881 6741.

Casuarina campus

There is 24-hour security at Casuarina campus. Contacts as follows:

Freecall: 1800 646 501Phone:08 8946 7777

The Security Office is located in Orange 2 near the Information Centre.

You should report anything suspicious to security as well as reporting all incidents including minor thefts. Suspicious activities can include individuals loitering around unattended offices, vehicles or bicycle racks. It is important to report occurrences as these trends can be identified and appropriate measures instigated.

Bicycles on campus should be secured to designated bike racks using a good quality 'U' or 'D' lock. Security strongly advise the use of two locks, one being a 'U' or 'D' and the other strengthened solid steel lock with plastic coated overlay.

This may prove expensive but would ultimately be cheaper than a new bicycle.

Bicycles must not be attached to posts or railings, as not only can they cause access problems, especially for those with disabilities, but it is also unsightly and causes damage to the fittings.
